My wife and I both work in RI and live in MA. She has RI and MA withholdings and a W2 from RI and MA. I only have RI withholdings and a RI W2. I do not have MA withholdings or a W2.
My intent is to use wages from my RI W2 and her MA W2 to MA. How do I specify what to report when asked "Do you want is to transfer only wages identified as earned in Massachusetts from your federal Forms W-2"? If I click No, Turbo tax reports all 3 W2 (doubling my wife's wages). If I click Yes, turbo tax reports only her MA W2 (not reporting any of my wages).
Thanks in Advance

In the federal section, the W2 entries should reflect the wages earned in that state, not what the W2 shows. For example:
Total earnings $100k
W2 shows:
MA $100k
RI $40k
Then entry on W2 screen should be RI $40k, MA $60k
This allows the RI income to go to RI while the MA program picks up all wages entered. Be sure you complete the RI return first for the proper credits on MA return.
